Wire Size Calculator
Benefits of using Calculator Co’s Wire Size Calculator:✔No annoyance from impeding ads✔Error free information because of a simple no fluff layout✔Easy to read with accuracy due to large bold text✔Less screen frustration with extra-large buttons and wide spacing
Warning: This calculator selects the gauge based on a 3% voltage drop. This is consistent with most electrical code but I advise you to check your local electrical code.
Tutorial: Step by step★General Info: When Wire Size Calculator Ad Free is first opened all fields are reset. All fields play a part in determining the gauge of wire required to maintain less than 3% voltage drop. This calculator is only as correct as the data that is entered. ★Step 1: Select the wire type Copper/Aluminum, Phase, and AC Voltage. ★Step 2: Enter the length to the load in feet. (One way) ★Step 3: Enter the Amps of the highest possible load. ★Step 4: The gauge is displayed at the bottom. The equation should be reviewed to insure correct data entry.
FAQQ: What is the sizing range available?A: This calculator recommends sizes #14 AWG to 2000 mcm.
Q: Does this application fallow a specific size chart?A: This program references many equations/charts. If a physical reference is needed American Wire Gauge (awg) sizing charts are available in printable forms online.
Q: Are we adding functions in the future?A: This app was designed to fit my requirements for my career. If you need extra functions like DC or metric units send me an email at [email protected] and I will add these features in future updates.
Q: How do I submit suggestions or problems with about the wire size calculator?A: The best way is to send an email to [email protected]

Nothing seems to line up with anything. It's telling me I need 2/0 AL for a 1' run of 100 amp. That's 4 wire sizes above what would normally be run for that. It gives the wire size as 588.9 CM, which is so small it's not even on the wire size chart in chapter 9 table 8 which shows 2/0 as being 133100 CM. 200 amp is a little better, but it's still saying that 250 MCM is only 1177.8 CM when it is actually 250,000. Am I missing something?
20' run at 30 amps should be 10 awg, not 8 awg. Cannot trust accuracy of the app.
Does not install icon on apps. You have to go back and find it every time.
Seems off, way too conservative for daily use
It's not accurate at all with NEC standards.
Good apps ,eazy to find size wore you need
needs to be updated or removed
with half a brain can do in their head... Still, it makes a useful tool for those of us who are vastly more intellegent than the rest, but also lazy by nature.
Works well. There was an error before the update. No ads!
The ap is right. people are dumb. It sizes per your 80 percent ampacity on your breaker., example: to the review below...so if you have something pulling 20 ACTUAL AMPS, it is going to be a #10. If it pulled 18 -19 ACTUAL AMPS, only then it would be #12
Quick and easy, accurate, no ads and it's free! Shows you the math it used to get your result. Nice work.
I was ending up with improper voltage purchases on wire using these calcs. ... these ANSWERS ARE NOT CORRECT !!
Description lacks that tidbit wasting my data
Gives you the wrong size of wire.
Simple but works. Thanks.
Thanks this rocks
Gets the job done fast and correct everytime. Thank you.
Just need to add 347vac
35' run, 120v, 20 amp circuit, it's telling me I need #10. Garbage.
Very nice and easy to use. .. love it
Usefull
The answer is not corrected
Totally off
Not updated to new code. Calls for wrong wire size for amperage.
Needs to have a DC option.
Wrong wire size. 120v @ 15A dose not = #12 copper
Interface is nice and simple. however, as a test i did 1ft at 15 amps and it gave me 12 gauge... So i guess no one should ever use 14 for any reason. if you use this to wire a house i hope you dont mind wasting a few grand more than you need to, cause the answers are overkill.
